Fur graham cracker crust:

Here's the recipe fur the filling:

You can make the fresh strawberry sauce or buy a pie filling of choice. 

My son who LOVES real cheesecake says this was a phenomenal recipe!  I was shocked because he is quite a connoisseur of fine cheesecakes! I thot he would turn his nose up at this "quickie, fake" version but he LOVED it!! They all declared it a "keeper" recipe!!

DSP at its Best!!

Old DSP but one of my favorites. Calypso Coral and Pool Party look so good together in this paper pack!!

The flowers are the Boho Flower punch & the leaves are from the Bird Builder punch. I added pearls to the center for a little extra... Happy Stamping!!

Bloomin Birthday

Oh this PAPER!!!! Wow! This DSP is called Fruit Stand. Don't you just love the vivid colors?

I used Flirty Flamingo for the card base & Watermelon Wonder to mount the greeting on. This card just turned out waaaay pretty! Simple design but delightfully pretty.  

Ice Cream Cone

Summer is in the air so pull out your 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch & your Clear Scallop Square die & get to churning up a cool ice cream card!!

I used the Lattice embossing folder on the "cone" & the Seaside embossing folder on the "ice cream scoops". 

Score from one corner up to the 4th scallop from each front corner to get your  food. To get the white inside, you have to kinda "create it yourself". I took a piece of typing paper and laid one edge along fold then peeking underneath, I folded the other side up to where it matches opposite fold on card then cut along my fold in white paper. Cute cute!!

NEW NAUTICAL STUFF!!!

Most of you know that I love nautical papers & stamps...so... It should be NO suprise that I got this DSP first rattle out of the cage.....er...new catalog!! 

It's called By the Shore & here's the patterns of this lovely pack:

Side one....and...

Side two!!

Aren't they lovely patterns?!?

Plus I used the new In Color, Dapper Denim! I really like the new In Colors!!

Just an FYI... I didn't have the Dapper Denim ink pad so I used Pacific Point & it coordinated well. 

BRAVO!!

Since next month will be Independence Day month we did a patriotic card in class.  

Here's a fun original design that uses whatever you have along the line of star punches (or framelits for that matter.) 

I used the Confetti Stars Border punch & the discontinued Star punch. The Confetti Stars Border is in the new catalog but the other two star punches are not.  BUT the new catalog has the Medium Star Punch which would work just fine!! Also the Stars Framelits. 

Using the Real Red & Night of Navy markers I made "star trails" on the Whisper White CS. Also I used the Dazzling Diamonds liquid sparkly glue on some of the stars. Sadly that isn't available anymore but here are several options: SEQUINS!! Or....

Here's a multi purpose glue that dries clear. Top it off with....

Stampin Glitter in Dazzling Diamonds!!

Lastly you could do Gold or Silver in the Dazzling Details glue. I just liked the clear iridescent-ness (is that a word?!?) of the kind I used. Anyway... 

Happy Stamping!!

Love You More

Have you SEEN the new DSP called "Fruit Stand"? OH.MY.WORD!!!

This is the front & back of the sheets I used:

Here's the front (not including the one I used) 

Here's the backs (not including the one I used) 

Aren't they just beautiful?!?

I used a 2" circle punch for Stamping the strawberry on. So pretty!!

Sending Candle Wishes

You can't have too many birthday cards on hand.  And here's another one to add to your collection!

Random sized candles from "Its My Party"  DSP are just so fitting. The background confetti paper is from the same DSP pack. I used Mint Macaroon for the card base. A 2 1/2" Circle Punch is kinda the base for the candles.  The flames are the wing from the Bird Builder punch. That really cool greeting? Cool font huh? It's from the set Party With Cake. Remember use whatever patterned paper you have on hand, switch up the colors & make it your own!!

Circles Galore!!

If you have various circle punches then you can make this card in a snap!!

Just get your scraps of DSP & start punching!! I used these sizes:

3/4", 1", 1 1/4", 1 3/8" & 1 3/4"

So so simple! This one is this months "5 Second card"!!

With Sympathy

Here's a super simple yet elegant card to give to someone who has experienced a great loss. 

Just Night of Navy & Basic Grey & Whisper White. Perfectly elegant. 

Cupcake Birthday

Elegant Eggplant & Cucumber Crush are such a pretty combination!!

Isn't it amazing what a strip of patterned paper & cool colors can do?
